As a licensed therapist in New Jersey, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and overcome challenges like social anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. I'm particularly passionate about working with young adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those exploring identity, relationships, and personal growth.
My therapeutic practice is rooted in compassion and understanding, creating a safe space for clients to explore their experiences with stress, depression, self-esteem issues, and interpersonal dynamics. I focus on empowering individuals to develop healthy coping strategies, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful connections with themselves and others.
I bring a multicultural, affirming perspective to my work, honoring each person's unique journey and supporting them through challenges like isolation, attachment issues, and personal transformation. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, emotional strength, and a sense of purpose.

When I met Michelle, I will admit, I was very on edge since therapy was very new to me and I grew up in a very emotionally unstable household, viewing therapy as a waste of time. Working with Michelle has been the best choice I’ve made for myself in a very long time and I don’t know where I would be today if it wasn’t for her guidance through this very difficult time in my life right now.

I had to step away from Therapy for about a year, and when I returned she picked things up as if I'd barely been gone a few weeks. Highly professional, and very understanding and insightful.

When you first explain a complex situation that you think would not be taken into consideration, Michelle navigates you through each objective. When you think there is a lot going on, there is validation and reassurance but also helping you through how to compartmentalize or organize things so you know what to tackle first. And taking time for each item is something they give time for you to understand and reflect. There's also such great conversation and back and forth of thoughts. Definitely recommend. It's a judgement free zone.

Michelle is the first therapist I have ever met with and I do believe I got very lucky.

Michelle is a wonderful therapist to work with. She always conducts herself in a professional yet friendly manner and makes you feel comfortable. She listens, knows when to cut you off, and most importantly when to hold you accountable and face the truth of the matter at hand.

Michelle is great all around, but I especially appreciate their ability to let me set the tone and pace of the sessions based on my goals. They doesn't press or rush me, and can change course mid-session if I need it! Michelle's very patient and receptive and doesn't make me feel dismissed like past therapists have. I love getting sent helpful links and info to read that correlates to what I'm currently working on and is available when I need to message in between sessions. 10/10 therapist!

When you need a thought partner, this is exactly what BH and Michelle (and the other therapists, I assume) can provide. Sometimes just sending a message is all you need to do to get the help you need-- and that's honestly made all the difference for me.

I really like Michelle's approach. It's very down to earth, empathetic and kind. I don't feel judged, I feel heard and she gives me more perspectives to look at when dealing with my issues. I think she's great and trying to understand and see what it is I really need from her while I am on this platform. Whether it's advice or just a listening ear, she's made sure to let me know that I am the one that decides how I want to proceed and I've never had that kind of support from a therapist in the past.
